Answer:
At first, explorers were looking for a shorter route to Asia. They hoped that they would find this route by sailing west. As the European countries claimed land in the New World, this gave people a chance to go there to spread Christianity.
The American colonists were justified in doing this simply because their colonies had become too big and too important to be treated as a colony by the British. The British should have given the colonies some autonomy, but they did not. The analogy I like to use is that of teens and their parents. Parents have to give teens more independence as they grow up. If they do not, the teens may justifiably rebel.
The British were not, on the whole, brutal or oppressive towards the colonists. However, they would not let the colonists have much in the way of self-rule. This had been fine when the colonies were still small and economically weak. By the 1760s and 1770s, however, the colonies were "teenagers." They were big and strong enough to expect some autonomy. When Britain reacted to requests for autonomy by being more strict, the colonists were justified in rebelling.
There are several different issues that cause disagreement between Republicans and Democrats including:
1) Size of the federal government- Republicans prefer a smaller, less involved government while Democrats favor a large, more involved federal government.
2) Taxes- Republicans favor a low tax rate on individuals, corporations, and businesses. Democrats prefer a higher tax rate on wealthier companies and individuals and a lower tax rate for poorer citizens.
Spain
Spain held the lands south of Georgia, called Spanish Florida.
Florida was one of the first areas settled by the Spanish. The first permanent settlement for the Spanish was located in Florida--St. Augustine. The land was thought to contain the fountain of youth and was explored by early Spanish settlers but never became the center of their colony.

Option: A) It showed the government was able to act and solve problems.
Explanation:
Congress in 1791 forced tax on the production of whiskey in the United States. It became a test for the Federal power in America where the government was examined. The taxes provoked the farmers as they showed their anger by frightening tax collectors. The rebellion erupted in Pennsylvania in 1794 between the locals and government. Washington sent troops to suppress farmers. The incident exposed that the government could react quickly and efficiently to solve such problems.
